Nethili Meen Bajji

Description

Nethili meen is known as Anchovy in english..its one of my fav fish..Seafood is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals; many varieties of seafood are also low in sodium and cholesterol.Fish is also a good source of “B” Vitamins “B-6”, “B-12″, biotin and niacin. Vitamin A” is found mainly in fish liver oils, but some high fat fish are good sources of Vitamin “A”. Fish is a good source of several minerals, especially iron, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Canned fish with edible bones, such as salmon or sardines, are also rich in calcium..Having fish twice r thrice in a week will give us sufficient vitamins, minerals..
Ingredients-1
10 nos Nethili meen(anchovy)
2 T Gram flour
1 T Corn flour
1 T Rice flour
¼ tsp Fennel seed powder
½ tsp Red chilli powder
2 T Idly batter
1 pinch Baking soda
Salt as per taste
1 pinch Food colour(optional)
Oil for deep frying
Ingredients-2
½ tsp Red chilli powder

Crispy Nethili meen fish bajji is ready…To deduce the quantity of baking soda, use idly batter they will give crispiness to bajji..
